[Moodle] Moodle 2, WebDAV & Cloud storage

[Paul Maxted]

Hi,

I haven't been following this thread but we are successfully uploading from
the iPad to Moodle v1.99 by using the browser iCab Mobile.

Students simply use the "Open in..." feature from say Pages, and select
iCab Mobile. Students then login into Moodle, go to the assessment task,
choose the file (which is now in the iCab Mobile file area) and uploads.

Maybe right off topic but I thought I would share for anyone wondering how
to upload files to Moodle from an iPad.
